The water in our pond has been dropping all summer. We thought it was from the lack of rain. However, now that the grss is dying, I notice holes in the side of the pond. Th holes appear to be from a groundhog. Once I get rid of the animal, how do I repair the holes in the pond?

I take a shovel and a spudbar, excavate the roof, drop it into the cavern and (if dry enough) compact.
Are you sure that's not a muskrat or something aquatic? I don't think a groundhog would ever dig an entrance that was originally under water.

That has all of the looks of a beaver den. However, I don't see the normal trails that a beaver makes. Have you noticed any tree damage?
It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

There are no trees near the pond. I bought a couple of traps so we will see what I catch!
